It's time to stop gay rights protesters with 'restrictions on free speech'
A new agenda takes shape in Idaho.
With escalating tactics by "Add the Words" protesters aimed at delaying business in the Capitol, the Legislature's top leaders say they hope to avoid disruption that might postpone their March 21 target for adjournment.
Senate President Pro Tem Brent Hill, R-Rexburg, said he met with Idaho State Police and civilian security officers Monday to plan.
"We've tried to look at the different scenarios and prepare for those," Hill said, declining to get more specific.
"If we're having to postpone and cancel because of (protesters interrupting business), then I think that some of the time, place and manner restrictions on free speech need to kick in," said House Speaker Scott Bedke, R-Oakley.
On Tuesday, the fourth round of arrests added another 23 mug shots to the Ada County Jail roster, including the movement's organizer, former Sen. Nicole LeFavour.
